How does IDEA support this? If I leave root directory out, where do I specify "base package" for new classes? Without something like this am I supposed to fix package name for newly created class every time?

There's a "package prefix" option in IDEA (but not in Android Studio last I checked)

[hudsonb]

Under projector structure, if you click edit next to your source you can set the package prefix

[hudsonb]

Not sure if this can be set in gradle or not.

I don't think it's worth all the trouble and simple ignore the convention 😁

[Jukka Siivonen]

Can't find such setting..

[Jukka Siivonen]

I believe it's this https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-managing-modules.html

[Jukka Siivonen]

"Assign a package prefix to Java sources"

[hudsonb]

Ya that's what I was referring too

[Jukka Siivonen]

I agree not worth it to follow this convention without easier tools support

If you manually add the package declaration to all files in the root package, IJ should pick up on it and start adding them for you
